Jolynn and Jared were friends for a long time before he finally asked her out. Once they started dating, it was soon clear they shared a great sense of humor and strong bonds with family and friends. After Jared proposed in Kansas City on Valentines Day, they began planning their fall wedding at Jolynn’s childhood home in the Chicago suburbs. 

Lucky for me, this home is perched atop a forested hill overlooking a beautiful lake. Surrounded by tall trees, dappled golden light, and the beginnings of fall color, this wedding was simply gorgeous.
